+ * Pure normaliser: raw bench reports → `value-v1` rung dicts.
+ *
+ * TypeScript twin of `src/scripts/_lib/value_ladder.py` (ADR-200 py2ts
+ * Phase 2 / Wave 2a). Phase 1 Step 2 of the readable-value-dashboard roadmap.
+ *
+ * This module is **pure** — no I/O, no file reads, no clock. Inputs are
+ * already-loaded dicts; outputs are rung dicts conforming to
+ * `docs/contracts/value-report-schema.md`. The companion
+ * `src/scripts/_lib/value_report.ts` owns the I/O wrapper that loads the raw
+ * reports, calls these functions, and writes the assembled JSON.
+ *
+ * Rung dict shape (see `value-report-schema.md` for the full contract):
+ *
+ *     {
+ *         "id": "<kebab-case>",
+ *         "label": "<German + English>",
+ *         "what_it_does": "<= 80 char phrase>",
+ *         "token_delta": <signed int>,
+ *         "eur_delta": <float>,
+ *         "cumulative_pct": <signed float>,   // filled in by assemble_ladder
+ *         "confidence": "measured" | "estimated" | "vendor-claim" | "pending",
+ *         "source_report": "<relative path>",
+ *         "footnote": "<optional caveat>",    // omitted when no caveat
+ *     }
+ *
+ * The public API deliberately keeps snake_case names to mirror the Python
+ * module 1:1 (per ADR-200 — Python style is part of the contract).
